So what you're saying is the D has better build quality and a battery grip option none of the others have, but it lacks the large LCD of a DS2 only or are there other things it lacks compared to a DS2? thanks, jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 4:16 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: RE: Differences between the *istD, DS, DS2?
The original D has better build quality than any of its siblings, and it can be fitted with a battery grip. Functionally, The DS2 is the best. Aestetically, i'd say that the D is the best. All of them work very well. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "J. C.
